More than 99,000 same-day voters registered in NH

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Nearly 14 percent of the votes cast in New Hampshire in this month's election came from voters who registered on Election Day.

The secretary of state's office says 99,319 people registered to vote at the polls Nov. 6.

The total number of ballots cast was 718,788, which amounts to just under 70 percent of the state's voting age population. That was a bit lower than in 2008, when the total number of ballots cast was about 600 higher than this year.
